Saturday, 3rd September 1887

The annual public examinations Of the
Country Schools were concluded on Monday,
and gave on the whole fairly satisfactory
results. There was marked progress in most
of the schools, Notwithstanding the rather
discouraging fact that the attendance has
fallen off somewhat during the present year,
partly on account of the prevalence of whoop-
ing cough and other children's ailments, but
partly also, it is to be feared, from increasing
skill on the part of parents and guardians in
the art of evasion. His Excellency the Gov
ernor was present at several of the examina-
tions.
The examination at La Princesse left per-
haps the best impression. Only 5 children
were there presented in the alphabet, all the
rest having mastered at least that initiatory
stage. The singing there was also decidedly
better than anywhere else. The East Hill
children, as usual, answered well; and out Of
the SO present, 18 or rather more than one
fourth, were in the highest class. In all the
schools the example set at La Princesse last
wear had been followed, and nearly all the
girls, even the smallest, were preparedto show
at least a small strip as a specimen of their
work, an exhibition which evidently delighted
the little ones and the parents who were
present equally. It is satisfactory to notice
that much more attention IS now paid to the
sewing, q department of the instruction of
such great Importance to the girls, and indeed
indirectly to the beyssea
The numbers4+on the lists OF the seve-
raj schools, and the numbers present at the
examinations, are compared below with the
corresponding numbers for last year.
